help- someone is trying to sue me

[Firerooster]

U as the driver are responsible for any and all occupants of the vehicle at all times. Whether or not occupant chooses to wear seatbelt is now the responsibility of that occupant and leaves them open for citation should law enforcement deem neccesary. However should injury or death occur it is the insured owners responsibility. Whether or not insured was even in the vehicle or not during the time of the injury or death occurred. Thus YES you are at fault for his elbow injury and if you do not carry enough liability/injury coverage then yes you will pay out of pocket for your friends rehabilitation. Sorry man

Ok here is the story. I got in a car accident saturday after a vehicle tried running me off the road. Me and my friend sustained minimal injuries. Now here wat is weird. His dad told me his insurance company was suing mine because his son needed physical therapy on his elbow. which to me only had minor glass fragments and he was moving it fine while he was around me. Now SC law is that each occupant in a vehicle is responsible for themselves while they are in a vehicle without a seatbelt. now as far as his seatbelts go he wasnt wearing his and sustained an injury, would that be his fault? being the cop that showed up wrote him a ticket for not having it. Also on my accident report it says the vehicle crash was not my fault but due to an unknown vehicle. Doesnt sound like they have much against me. once these thoughts raced through my head i wanted to confront him but i did not get into it with his dad. Am i right and if they try suing wouldnt it cost them more money than what it is worth. I cant really counter claim since i was the driver but with the accident not faulting on me and with him not wearing his seatbelt, the damage could have been avoided to him if he was wearing it. Just let me know if im wrong or AMIRITE!!!!!

This is all that needs to be said.

Exhibit A - He wasnt wearing a seatbelt

Exhibit B - He was hurt

Exhibit C - The accident was not your fault

Exhibit D - He was given a ticket

He has no case.

Sure I can read. Are you naive? OP has his location, age, and details of the accident posted up...you think people couldn't figure that out? Think his buddy doesn't know he's into car audio?
I have been through a big accident related case, having said that, I wouldn't be posting up jack about it.

he said nothing bad dude... chill out

Wrong according to his laws. If the passenger was not wearing his seat belt and the driver was not at fault in the accident then the passenger is responsible for his own injuries as a result of his own negilence which is shown by the passenger being ticketed. According to his SC laws anyway.
